How do truck accidents and auto accidents differ?
Truck drivers and trucking companies have legal obligations above and beyond those imposed on regular drivers. Truck drivers must be qualified, licensed individuals who scrupulously abide by federal and state trucking regulations. Trucking companies also must carry more insurance coverage than regular motorists because truck accidents can result in catastrophic damage and truck drivers are considered professionals. As a result, the compensation that is paid out in a trucking accident lawsuit is often more than in a standard auto accident settlement.
Who can be sued in a truck accident case?
It may be possible to file a claim against multiple parties in a truck accident case. The transportation industry is complex and involves a multitude of businesses that may be considered liable in the event of an accident. Our Philadelphia-area truck accident lawyers can help determine liability and advise you on the best way to proceed with your claim. We will pursue legal action against all liable parties to help ensure that you obtain the compensation that you deserve.
What are some common causes of truck accidents?
Some of the more common causes of truck accidents include negligence on the part of the truck driver, faulty hiring procedures by trucking companies, defective vehicle components, negligence on the part of freight loaders, and inadequate maintenance of the vehicle. Any of these causes can be grounds for legal action. A Philadelphia, Allentown, or South Jersey-area truck accident attorney can help you file a claim against the liable parties if you or a loved one has been in a truck accident.
What compensation might I be eligible for?
